There are lots of different theories about what is 'true'. I think there's only one reliable test of truth - a feeling or emotion that i'm not sure has a name. If it makes you angry - you're not seeing it. If you get feelings of it being profound - you're not seeing it. If it makes you happy - you're not seeing it. Truth will always be a sort of surprised joy, like that feeling you get when you solve a difficult puzzle. It will always be that feeling that tells you you're seeing the truth. The feeling of a 'revelation', whatever the best name for that is. Also a barometer for life situations, which so often make us angry or sad or happy, but very rarely do we attain or even look for a 'revelation' or truth of those situations. But they're there.
